摘要:

我们目前的光谱为33个以前未分类的白矮星系统亮于V = 17主要在南半球。在这些新系统中,26个是DA,4个是DC,2个是DZ,1个是DQ。我们怀疑其中三个系统是未解决的双重简并。我们获得了这33个对象以及23个已知的白矮星系统的VRI测光没有三角函数松弛,也主要是在南半球。对于56个天体,我们将测光值转换为通量,并使用光谱学将其拟合到光谱能量分布,以确定使用哪种模型(即纯氢,纯氦或富金属氦),从而估计有效温度和距离。其中8个新的和12个已知的系统估计在NStars和邻近恒星目录(CNS)的25 pc范围内,构成了附近白矮星样本的18%的潜在增长。通过CTIOPI正在对这20个系统进行三角视差测定。其中一个DC是冷的,使得它在近红外中显示吸收。使用通过三角视差确定的距离,我们能够约束依赖于模型的物理参数,并发现该对象是最有可能的混合H/He大气白矮星类似于其他冷白矮星近年来确定的红外显着吸收,由于碰撞诱导的氢分子吸收。

英文摘要:

We present spectra for 33 previously unclassified white dwarf systems brighter than V = 17 primarily in the southern hemisphere. Of these new systems, 26 are DA, 4 are DC, 2 are DZ, and 1 is DQ. We suspect three of these systems are unresolved double degenerates. We obtained VRI photometry for these 33 objects as well as for 23 known white dwarf systems without trigonometric parallaxes, also primarily in the southern hemisphere. For the 56 objects, we converted the photometry values to fluxes and fit them to a spectral energy distribution using the spectroscopy to determine which model to use (i.e. pure hydrogen, pure helium, or metal-rich helium), resulting in estimates of effective temperature and distance. Eight of the new and 12 known systems are estimated to be within the NStars and Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS) horizons of 25 pc, constituting a potential 18% increase in the nearby white dwarf sample. Trigonometric parallax determinations are underway via CTIOPI for these 20 systems. One of the DCs is cool so that it displays absorption in the near infrared. Using the distance determined via trigonometric parallax, we are able to constrain the model-dependent physical parameters and find that this object is most likely a mixed H/He atmosphere white dwarf similar to other cool white dwarfs identified in recent years with significant absorption in the infrared due to collision-induced absorptions by molecular hydrogen.
